Every occupant or owner of a residential unit to which refuse collection service is made available from the authority, or any business or industrial establishment, including any building, house, or structure, within the City shall comply with the following:
A. Placement and use of trash cans in alleys where City containers are located is expressly prohibited. The placement or parking of vehicles in alleys where containers are located or in the City right-of-way, so as to deny access to the container, is expressly prohibited. The authority reserves the right to refuse to collect refuse in containers which are not accessible by reason of parked vehicles or other obstructions. All refuse from residential units may be stored in such containers for the storage of refuse; however, the following items shall not be stored in City containers: tires, furniture, appliances, bath fixtures, steel, dirt, masonry products or any volume of materials which because of weight would preclude the authority or its designated contractor from dumping the container. These prohibited items may be picked up by service as set forth in this chapter. The placement of any items on the ground beside the container, which normally would be placed in the container, and thereby causing litter, is prohibited.
B. Commercial units, including, but not limited to, businesses and industrial establishments, shall place refuse in the container and the opening shall be immediately closed and securely fastened. Cardboard boxes which are placed in the containers must be nested or broken down. The same restrictions and prohibitions that apply to residential units shall also apply to commercial units, businesses, and industrial establishments.
C. It is the responsibility of each contractor, builder, commercial landscaping contractor, and appliance or furniture dealer to dispose of their respective items.
D. Storage of all refuse shall be in a manner as is approved by the City authority and health officers.
